ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet with ResMed P10 nasal pillows head gear question

Machine: ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet
"Mask" - ResMed AirFit P10

The AirFit P10 is the simplest version of nasal pillow head gear... a stretchy neoprene-like head band holds the small "pillow" to the nostrils. (it is not the nasal pillows (P30) with plastic tubing that surrounds the whole face).

Mask Setting Options in the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet? 3) Nasal ---- 2) Mask ---- 1) Pillows... 3 separate setting options. ResMed calls the P10 head gear "Nasal Pillows" in the P10 User Guide then puts "Pillows" and "Nasal" as separate headgear settings on the AirSense 10 AutoSet menu.

The AirFit P10 head gear user guide says this about the CPAP machine setting to use:

1) use "Pillows" with the S9. OK, I don't have an S9 so that doesn't apply to me.

2) Next the P10 user guide says "For other devices use SWIFT (if available)". SWIFT is not a mask option with the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet so that setting is not available to me.

3) The last setting option in the P10 user guide says "otherwise, select MIRAGE" -- and that is another mask setting that is not available on the AirSense 10 AutoSet.

So what AirSense 10 AutoSet Mask option am I supposed to use with the P10 Nasal Pillow head gear? "Nasal" or "Pillow"?? Shame on ResMed for making this a problem that could have been avoided by NOT calling the P10 Nasal Pillows and pick one or the other.

I tried submitting this question on ResMed.com and kept getting "captcha" errors (when there were no errors) so was unable to get their

The P10 mask setting is going to be "pillows".
